Direct flights now available between Tehran and Kandahar

[pukhtana]

Yesterday, the Iranian Aseman airlines flew for the first time a direct flight from the Iranian capital of Tehran to Afghanistan’s second largest city, Kandahar. Flights by both Afghan and Iranian airlines happen at least twice a week from Tehran to Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul, however this was the first time an Afghan or Iranian airline directly flew from Tehran to Kandahar. Now, scheduled flights from Tehran to Kandahar and back will be available on a weekly basis. Afghans living in Kandahar and neighboring cities can more easily their export their goods to Iran, and import other goods from Iran. These types of flights are expected to dramatically improve trade between the two countries.

Great news. Afghanistan and Pashtuns in particular should have more interaction with our Iranic brothers. This will bring prosperity, understanding and harmony of interest between the two great and historic nations and cousins.

All through and through. We were one. Our sculptures from the times of Darius the great exist in Persepolis even today. And yes are Iranic people. There were times of rivalaries and disputes. We are both proud people and brothers. Even the defendants of old Persia were Afghans.
